"It would really be better if your software just used the updated
paths ;-) Since no new version of any distribution provides the old
interface anymore!

What are you, some kind of gigantic idiot?
"Software" uses the paths that it's designed and coded to use!

If you remove the paths don't expect the software to work!

One big fat clue: when you change ANY PART of Linux you can expect that you are breaking some code *somewhere*. Someone has written to every component of the existing package. If you're not going to do QA to verify that your new OS is backwards-compatible and you're not going to come out with workarounds for the code that is now broken don't point fingers at the *code* as the problem. YOU ARE THE PROBLEM.

The simple fact is that after a certain point you can't change Linux at all without breaking something.
But in your simplistic arrogance you force the world to adapt and change when it wouldn't otherwise.
Half of the world will adapt to work with your changes...and the other half will eliminate you as a point of concern.

Now haviing said that it would be nice if there was a coherent reliable functional workaround to help users to get BOTH usbfs and /proc/bus/usb structure to work in 10.04+. Now that it's been blown-out entirely. Because VM and HASP are DEFINITELY not the only tools that make use of both not to mention either.
